Rather than me? You jumped all ove my comment. I didn't engage you what's your problem?

no i meant i wasn't having a go at you for quoting steve stone, just in case it sounded like i was having a go at you as opposed to the BBC.

forgive my english ... i'm welsh

Spot on, worth repeating.

What did he say?

 

[TomDixie]

Looked solid defensively for most of that.

Would be a great scoreline for the second leg.

 

[froggyted]

you can say that again!

Don't encourage him!!!

typical of the media to push an agenda. The bunch of frauds. never a penalty, clearly wins the ball

 

[RomanReigns]

they need the same focus they showed tonight in the 2nd leg and a bit more attacking threat.

 

[froggyted]

That 2nd half will have given us a preview of what it's going to be like in the 2nd leg, so hopefully the experience will stand us in good stead for that game.

Except that we've probably ridden all our luck!

Ha ha, classic!

Tonight = an effective dry run for the LC 2nd leg: first half we probed their defence and got at them a bit; second half we were able to see what they offer coming at us.


I think RM will be well pleased and in good spirits for the shoot out in a couple of weeks.

Ok, the red card has been rescinded, will let you off with a yellow!

 

[GwladysBlue]

Good point away from home, but it is getting worrying that we aren't winning league games.

1/8 now, more than likely we won't be winning at Chelsea either.

Don't apologise, I enjoyed the post @Dario Terracotta
In fact I read it 15 times, and that's about 15 times more than I ever read @chicoazul's previews.

Good result and nice to see some defensive guts but league table still makes horrible horrible viewing.

I was feeling nice and upbeat till it flashed up on bt lol

We are better than our league position imo (potentially that is, because the table doesn't lie). I think somewhere around 6th is the very best we can expect this season looking at the fixture list, but if we get anywhere near that position i would see it as a worthwhile improvement on last season, especially given the way the squad has gelled together and the quality of football we are playing. I reckon that we are only two or three players away from being a match for anyone, and one of those needs to be a striker imo to support Lukaku (i'll be really disappointed to lose Naismith unless we replace him with quality). This may be Tim's last season as No. 1, and whether Joel is a competent replacement is still an unknown factor, but i wouldn't write him off on the strength of what i've seen.
